Very simple to prepare and tasty. I used fresh garlic instead of the instant; otherwise I followed the directions closely. While the potatoes were very good right after coming out of the oven (probably a 4-star recipe), they got way better as they sat. The leftovers were so great! Thanks for sharing the recipe; I'll be making this again.
